Highlights

Our last day in Vancouver and it’s the first day the sun isn’t shining. In fact, it’s been like spring for our whole time here (to the extent of tulips and daffodils in bloom). It’s been wonderful.

Our last day we did a lot of the ‘should do’ Olympic experiences, which involved a lot of line standing. We went to Sochi house, which is the introduction to where the Russian Olympics will be held in 2014.

Our event last night was women’s hockey – team Russia versus team Switzerland. The Swiss won in a shootout, which was extra exciting because they were the underdogs. 3 out of our 4 events were watching team Switzerland, so our red and white fit in well. A definite highlight of the game was sitting beside a banana. Weird.

I think my favorite thing about the city were these amazing spotlights that made geometric patterns in the sky. It reminded me a bit of the Bellagio fountains in Vegas. Very cool. We took an evening walk down to Kits beach to check them out close up.

Next stop – London!
